[Mos Def mumbling]
Centralised or way out in the sticks

[Intro]
Ha ha ha ha
Ha, ha ha ha ha
Ha! Ha ha ha ha
Ah-ha ha ha, ah-ha ha ha ha, ha!!

[Hook: De La & Mos Def]
Now, this goes out to all area cliques
Centralized or way out in the sticks
Remember to keep the De La in the mix
Just like log cabin syrup, our sound is game thick
Now, this goes out to all area cliques
From manicured lawns to projects bricks / from 718 to the 51-6
Remember to keep the Mos Def in the mix
Straight butter hits, drop as good as it gets

[Verse 1: Mos Def, Dove & Posdonus]
Now, come on, y’all, get live, get down
What we have is a brand new sound
So don’t none of y’all just be misled
The De La’s gonna do the body good like wheat bread
Shakin’ laces outta shoes, Mos Def brought the brews
Sittin’ Indian squats to make that bread tie knots
See, I’m out to get the coin like in them rainbow pots (Wooo!)
Swingin’ life like a hammock, invested like stocks
Through your sinus complex, I aims to clog it up
Slappin’ fives with pain is a crew here to gain
We remain on your mind like skulls
Not a dull moment shown
When in the house, all perimeters are blown
Native Tongue come through to make you say, “Yes! Yes!”
This is the mighty Mos Def, style fresh like baby breath
We are the killer combination with the size to administer
The beatdown to swell up all three of your eyes

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hold, hold onto each other
Hold, hold onto each other
(This is what the world sounds like)
Nah, f–k you, n—a

You got me f–ked up
F–k you, f–k you

I swear, I’m tired of these emotional ass, ungrateful ass b—hes (shut the f–k up)
Unstable ass, confrontational ass dumb b—hes
You wanna bring a n—a down even when I’m tryna do right
We could go our separate ways right now
You could move on with your life, I swear to God

F–k you n—a, you love a pity party, I won’t show up
Always act like your s–t don’t stink, motherf–ker, grow up
Forever late for s–t, won’t buy s–t, sit around and deny s–t (man)
F–k around on a side b—h, then come f–kin’ up my s–t
What? F–kin’ up yo’ s–t? You must be bleedin’ and more s–t
B—h, I don’t know s–t, f–k yo’ feelings (you some on h-e s–t)

The Echo
10/2020

The echo of silence in my mind is deafening,
Surrounded by the inadequacies of others, that they try to place on you,
The shrinking of your life, for their gain,
Their solace,

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

We met as children,
Red clay on our hands,
Brown sun burned bodies,
Smiles as we watched long days…
Melt into southern sunsets,

With time I got older,
I yearned to leave,
My Mom didn’t like you,
The taste of peaches,
I remembered on my lips,

I went home,
Where I felt right,
Sometimes I missed you,
But I didn’t think of you often,
I gave up Peaches for Apples,

When I think of where I am,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
When the world becomes unexplainable,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,

[Verse 1]
I am Posdnous
I be the new generation of slaves
here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
the pile of revenue I create
But I guess I don’t get a cut cuz my rent’s a month late
Product of a North Carolina cat
who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie
Who departed life just a little too soon
and didn’t see me grab the Plug Tune fame
As we go a little somethin’ like this
look ma, no protection

The love that I had the presence to see,
The genuine regard,
Unspoiled love,
Protection of their world,
To see that joyous smile,
